The title compound, neodymium(III) oxide nitrate, which is isostructural with LaO(NO(3)), arose from a solvothermal reaction. The Nd ion (site symmetry m) is ten-coordinated by eight O atoms of NO(3) groups and two μ(2)-oxide ions. A three-dimensional structure is constructed by the inter-connection of NdO(10) polyhedra. The oxide ion and the N atom and one of the nitrate O atoms possess site s...

[1] Characteristics of optical and chemical properties of dust aerosol over Beijing and their relation were studied in the spring dust season, 2006 to understand the impact of dust and anthropogenic aerosol on the regional climate. Two dust plumes (DS1 and DS2) were identified with contrasting physicochemical properties. Strong absorbing of aerosol at 439 nm was observed, probably due to the si...

Measurements of trace metals and inorganic ions were carried out on PM10 aerosols sampled at two sites in the city of San Jose, Costa Rica. Samples were collected with a Thermo Andersen high volume PM10 sampler on glass fiber and quartz filters. The ions SO4 2, NO3 , Cl , F , PO4 3, NH4 + , K + , Na + , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ were analyzed by ion chromatography and the trace metals V, Cu, Cr, Pb, Ni, ...

heavy metals such as cu(ii) and pb(ii) are among the hazardous pollutants that lead to severe ecological problems and have a toxic effect on living organisms. the removal of cu(ii) and pb(ii) by iranian bentonite experiment were conducted in single component and multi component systems. the bentonite from the birjand area was characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern and ftir spectroscopy. the...

two new nano-sized lead(ii) and mercury(ii) coordination polymers, [pb(2-bpdh)(no3)2(h2o)]n(1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)} and [hg(4-bpdb)(scn)2]n (2); (4-bpdb= 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene) were synthesized by a sonochemical method. the structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(ii) and single crystal x–ray analysis of compound 2reve...

Abstract The purpose of this research was to evaluate the potential plant-immobilized bacterial cells synergism for enhanced remediation polluted river water. water sample collected from Kalyani river, Uttarakhand, India and characterized by high concentration COD (1010 mg/l), BOD (230 NO3−-N (30 PO43−-P (48.9 Pb (1.028 mg/l). This treated on a lab scale with immobilized Epipremnum aureum in va...

Physical, chemical, hydrologic, and biologic factors affecting nitrate (NO3(-)) removal were evaluated in three agricultural streams draining orchard/dairy and row crop settings. Using 3-d "snapshots" during biotically active periods, we estimated reach-level NO3(-) sources, NO3(-) mass balance, in-stream processing (nitrification, denitrification, and NO3(-) uptake), and NO3(-) retention poten...
